A strange new world indeed, this thing in which pretend-entrepreneurs supported by the pretend-media spend 8`500 actual dollars collected from pretend-investors while the entire chorus of pretense pretends to not notice that Bitcoin's only technologically apt exchange manages just fine on less than 25 BTC a month.
